Oh dear Lord.. I have no idea whatsoever where the time is flying this year. It could have been because March, honestly was the busiest month of the year for me.. till now. Really hoping that the trend doesn’t continue in the month of April or even the coming months – I cannot and will not be able to handle this gruelling phase *teary eyed*
Which means that audiobooks became my best friend this past month and I have a strong suspicion that my ever growing pile of immediate TBR is actually planning on murdering me; not that it would ever stop me from adding more to that pile, with today’s list of my Most Anticipated Reads of April 2021 *winks*.
As always, this is not the total list of all the books being released in this particular month; these are the books that I am looking forward in this month – and maybe just maybe update, the list with my review links at the end of the month, so that ya’ll can access to the reviews without any issues!
If you would like to, you can also check out January 2021, February 2021 and March 2021 Anticipated Reads as well.
ZARA HOSSAIN IS HERE by Sabina Khan
Genres: Diverse Reads/Own Voices/Societal Issues/Young Adult
Releases on: 1st April 2021
When a book talks about “what it feels like to be an immigrant in today’s America” you have got to pick up the beauty; because you can never have too many books that talk about exactly what is going on currently in the world society as a whole and how we can do our best to actually counteract the effects of such blinding discrimination and violence.

WHAT BEAUTY THERE IS by Cory Anderson
Genres: Diverse Reads/Young Adult/Thriller
Releases on: 1st April 2021
Ya’ll know that my list would never ever complete without a thriller that I hope would keep me hooked – and when it is a book that talks about survival and the choices we make for our own. Plus, how can we not take a look at that cover and expect anything but chills?

GO THE DISTANCE by Jen Calonita
Genres: Fantasy/Greek Mythology/Young Adult
Releases on: 1st April 2021
*What if Meg Had To Become God?*
Okay, for an ardent Percy Jackson fan, the moment I read the above tagline, I couldn’t help but be enamoured with what looks to be a hilarious crossover between the human world and that of the Greek Gods. Though, to be honest I am a little iffy about the whole romance aspect (Meg can only become a God to be with her boyfriend Hercules, if completes some tasks, of course!) but I am really hoping that the story ARC would come around to Meg being a kicka** heroine!

You know how we all grew up with fairytales where a handsome young prince comes riding in to save the day? Yeah I think we can all agree that its all crapshoot – and no prince (or rather any male) is worth the frustration and the irritation they bring with them.

Genres: Science Fiction/Young Adult Debut/
